Abstract
From literature sources irreversible thermodynamic parameters may be obtained for all alkali metal chloride salt solutions at 298.16 K in the concentration range 0–3.0 mol dm–3. Comparable data for isotopic diffusion coefficients of component ions and water are incomplete. These have been obtained in this study, using a diaphragm cell, for all but rubidium ion in rubidium chloride. It is shown that these two sets of data may be combined to yield Onsager frictional coefficients (rii*) or mobility coefficients (lii*) which measure the kinetic interaction between isotopes as a function of concentration for each salt solution. Interpretation of lii* for ions is made difficult because of large frame-of-reference contributions with water solvent, but these may be compared with values calculated from the Onsager limiting law. Frictional interpretations are more explicit. The main factor contributing to the experimental diffusion coefficient for ions, Dii, remains ion-water friction which amounts to some 90 % for many slats even at 3.0 mol dm–3. The primary cause is that interionic friction between ions of opposite charge is largely cancelled by isotope–isotope friction in the expression for Dii.
